NEW DELHI – Ex-mill prices of sugar in key wholesale markets across north India were down today because of a rise in production in India, traders said. This has put pressure on supply.
* Mills in India produced 15.1 mln tn of sugar during Oct 1-Jan 15, up 6% from the year-ago period, the Indian Sugar Mills Association said in a release today.
* Prices, however, were flat in Maharashtra today because of parity between demand and supply, said Mukesh Kuvadia, secretary of Bombay Sugar Merchants Association.
